Early this morning, after breakfast we begin the drive to Canakkale. On the way, we visit an important historical site, Troy. Troy was a city that existed over 4.000 years ago and was known as a major ancient civilization. Archaeological digs found that there had been nine separate periods of settlement. (3000 BC-AD 400) on what became accepted as the site of ancient Troy. Apart from a wooden Trojan Horse we found Troy a disappointment really. In Çanakkale we had a lovely dinner and viewed yet another Trojan Horse - this one used and subsequently gifted to the city by the producers of the movie Troy filmed in 2004. Our last day on the road tomorrow - we are ready to leave Turkey - have enjoyed the everchanging countryside and Cappadocia especially but the repetitious food is getting hard to swallow - the same food over and over again and poor quality. Tonight's dinner was a little different which was a complete and pleasant surprise.
